Logie, the osprey from Moray has become famous over the last year as she migrated from near Forres in Moray to Guinea Bissau. Her winter on the tropical island was relaxed and then she started her migration back to Scotland. By now thousands of people were following her journey on the BBC Radio 4 programme "World on the Move" as well as on this website, the BBC's website and on the Talisman Energy website. She had a tough migration and at times we thought she would never get home, and by the time she did, an intruder female had taken her place. Half a day of fighting and she regained her nest and her previous year's mate. She laid three eggs and her two young are just about ready to fly. Soon Logie will be off again and we will follow her. Will she stop-off again on the Solway? Which way will she travel through the UK and where will hit the French coast? Will she get safely across the Bay of Biscay and on over the huge Sahara Desert? And will she winter on the same island and may be on the same trees?

Logie's Details: Adult Female at nest B10 near Forres, Moray. Trapped for ringing on 13/7/07. Ringed with BTO ring and white/black colour ring AN on left leg. Satellite transmitter number 75609. Weight 1950 grams. Wing length: 510mm: Tail: 228 mm. In very good condition.This female was previously unringed, so we do not know her age & history, but she has bred at this nest for three years, rearing a total of 5 young. On release she flew back to her perch tree beside nest.

Logie is named after Logie Primary School near Forres in Moray - they are the nearest school and over the last year they have been following Logie's life and travels.  Talisman Energy UK funded the purchase of the GPS transmitter.
